Fattoria Le Terrazze is a historic estate in the Marche region of Italy, established in 1882 on the hills of Numana, at the foot of Monte Conero. Today managed by Antonio and Georgina Terni with the guidance of oenologist Federico Curtaz, the property extends over 16 hectares planted primarily with Montepulciano, the signature grape of the Rosso Conero DOC appellation. The estate's wines — notably the Sassi Neri Conero Riserva DOCG and the Chaos IGT Marche — are regularly acclaimed by Italian and international critics for their elegance, depth and authentic expression of the Adriatic terroir.

L'histoire du domaine

The story of Fattoria Le Terrazze begins in 1882, when Giacomo Terni purchased the estate and built the present winery, a three-storey building constructed with stone from Monte Conero to accommodate a cellar, a barn and a silkworm breeding premises. Since the late nineteenth century, the Terni family has been cultivating Montepulciano and producing wine on these lands overlooking the Adriatic. It was Paolo Terni who, in the 1950s, definitively oriented the estate towards viticulture by abandoning the traditional share-cropping system in favour of direct farming. He played a key role in the 1960s in the creation of the Rosso Conero DOC appellation and planted around ten hectares of Montepulciano on south-facing slopes. In 1967, the estate bottled its first Rosso Conero. The following generation, embodied by Antonio Terni and his wife Georgina, took over in the 1980s and embarked on an ambitious quality drive: modernisation of facilities, renewal of vineyards with agronomist Leonardo Valenti, creation in 1990 of the first Metodo Classico made entirely from Montepulciano grapes with Carlo Pigini, and launch of new cuvées such as Sassi Neri Conero Riserva and Chaos in the 1990s. Since 2006, the estate has benefited from the expertise of Piedmontese oenologist Federico Curtaz, who has guided the estate in consolidating its style and international reputation.

Le terroir

The vineyards of Fattoria Le Terrazze extend over 16 hectares within the Parco del Conero, a unique rocky promontory on the Adriatic coast between Trieste and the Gargano. Located in Numana, less than two kilometres from the sea, the vines benefit from a privileged microclimate, marked by refreshing sea breezes from the Adriatic and the natural protection offered by Monte Conero against harsh weather from the north. The soils, formed in the upper middle Pliocene, vary according to exposure: clay-limestone on some parcels, sandy-limestone on others, conferring complexity and minerality to the wines. The vineyard is planted to nearly 90% Montepulciano, the emblematic grape of the region, complemented by parcels of Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay. The estate practises organic-leaning sustainable viticulture, with cover crops between the rows, soil work and limited yields. Fermentations take place in stainless steel tanks, followed by ageing in large oak casks or barriques depending on the cuvée, with measured use of new wood to preserve the authenticity of the fruit and the expression of terroir.

Les vins

The range of Fattoria Le Terrazze is built on a palette of powerful and elegant red wines, true to the identity of the Riviera del Conero. The estate's emblematic wine is the Rosso Conero DOC, first bottled in 1967, a pure Montepulciano that combines intense fruit, silky tannins and fine drinkability. At the top of the range, the Sassi Neri Conero Riserva DOCG — whose name evokes one of the most beautiful beaches of the Conero — stands as an absolute reference for the appellation: 100% Montepulciano, aged 18 to 24 months in French oak barriques then refined in bottle, it displays contained power, remarkable aromatic richness and considerable ageing potential. Regularly crowned with Tre Bicchieri by Gambero Rosso, it embodies the quintessence of the terroir. Alongside, Chaos IGT Marche — a blend of Montepulciano, Syrah and Merlot born in 1997 — offers a modern and international interpretation of the vineyard, marked by fruity and spicy complexity. The estate also produces Le Cave Chardonnay IGT Marche, a mineral and vibrant white aged on lees, Pinkfluid rosé, and Donna Giulia, a Metodo Classico made entirely from Montepulciano grapes — a true oenological curiosity.

Le vigneron

Antonio Terni embodies a singular trajectory in the Italian wine landscape. Born in Argentina where his Jewish family had taken refuge during the Fascist regime, he studied nuclear physics in Milan before renouncing a scientific career to return to Numana, to the family estate, in the 1980s. This physicist-turned-passionate-winemaker brought to the estate a vision that is both rigorous and creative: it was he who named the Chaos cuvée in homage to mathematical chaos theory, and who developed, as a fervent admirer of Bob Dylan, cuvées such as Visions of J and Planet Waves. At his side, his wife Georgina has from the beginning shared all strategic and creative decisions of the estate — she notably initiated the passito Geo. Together, they have elevated Fattoria Le Terrazze to the ranks of the essential references of the Marche region, bringing its wines to more than 33 countries. Since 2006, they have relied on the expertise of Federico Curtaz, a renowned Piedmontese oenologist who worked alongside Angelo Gaja, who brings to the estate a sharp technical mastery in the service of an ever purer expression of Montepulciano and the Adriatic terroir.
